Dear 2010, I have so loathed you. Nearly as much as 2008 and more than 2009. I am so happy to say Adios`.

I KNOW that 2011 will bring its own adventures, and the journey will continue for me God willing, so I am ready. Bring it!As many of you know, I save blogabouts for THEE BOOK.. you know.. when I’m old and wearing purple. So here is a recap of this bloody year.:

• Had my brother and sis in law in from Alaska• Ended the visit abruptly when Mom fell ill• Stayed with my Sis & family to care for Mom for the last month of her life• Laid our Mother to rest.• Came back to Pismo to begin piecing my world back together (again)

Got a new cool car.. my beloved tank

Quilted 3, count em 3 show quilts

Made arrangements for kids to come and stay in our home.

Watched the entire season of LOST on DVD and was mesmerized

I swatted my baby grand girl, and it still hurts. ( me)

Won a ribbon for a quilt Mid State Fair

Took a HOT trip to Palm Springs to watch my Grand Girl compete in a beauty contest

Got hooked on Bejewelled on Facebook

Kept up with blogabouts, no matter the trauma I go through

Went to visit my soul sista Ronda in Oregon, and I didn’t discover QVC. Noooo I didnt!

Had the ::hands down::: weirdest holidays EVER in my life.

Got sick, but not TOO sick like 2008/9 thanks to Zicam and Airbourne.. ( or straight up pissiness)

Experienced Christmas through the community outreach of others for distant kids.

Get There If You Can

Missing My Munz

"I Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, My Son, my Mom, forever in my heart."
